Strong's Lexicon moledeth: Kindred, birth, offspring, family, native land Original Word: מוֹלֶדֶת Word Origin: Derived from the root יָלַד (yalad), meaning "to bear" or "to bring forth." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1085 (genos) - race, family, kindred - G3965 (patris) - fatherland, native country Usage: The Hebrew word "moledeth" primarily refers to one's kindred or family, encompassing the broader concept of one's birthplace or native land. It is often used to denote familial relationships and the place of one's origin. In the context of the Hebrew Bible, "moledeth" signifies not only the physical place of birth but also the cultural and familial ties associated with one's lineage and heritage. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, family and lineage were of paramount importance. The concept of "moledeth" was deeply intertwined with one's identity, social status, and inheritance rights. The Israelites placed great emphasis on genealogies and tribal affiliations, which were crucial for maintaining the covenantal promises given to the patriarchs. The idea of returning to one's "moledeth" or native land was significant, especially in the context of the Israelites' journey to the Promised Land and their subsequent exiles and returns.
